Ubuntu does not detect my monitor automatically.
Its Viewsonic 17 inch, widescreen.
The resolution is 1280x720.
displayconfig-gtk is now obsolete in Ibex, Which package do I use?
Please help!![]()
you may have to manually edit xorg, i knew this might happen with some people.
here is hoping more options are made into the scren resolutions app in Jaunty...
For now i can only suggest going back to hardy, or if you want to keep current use Mint as it has a semi rolling release now

Yeh unless you manually configure stiff.
It was really a stupid idea to get rid of displayconfig without the improvements we were promised for jaunty.
I think it should be put back into the repositories, but it wont happen.
Like i said if its that much of an issue change distos, Mandriva and mint are good suggestions.

Why on earth would one change to another distribution just because there's no tool to perform the one-off resolution configuration for broken monitors!? That is a ridiculous suggestion.
See the appropriate section of our X configuration documentation for how to set it up manually.
Your incorrect Linux Mint suggestions are also unwelcome - Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10 have Firefox 3.0.3, and Linux Mint is not Ubuntu.

well for you even though its just a few lines a lot of newcommers are going to be scared away because you have to add those lines to begin with.
I think that there should have been at least a transition package or something for beginners who want more recent packages but those who dont want to manually edit stuff just to get it working.
